Historical-archaeological route to discover the so-called "covoli": under rock shelters housing in the past small pre-historic communities. Today they are the object of archaeological research activities carried out by the Park. In four different sites, traces of human presence have been brought to light. The finds can be dated back to a period ranging from the Neolithic age to the Middle Ages, and include a burial of the 8th-10th century AD.
